Description

Mill Creek Loop Trail rolls through mature hardwoods and begins/ends on the Loyston Loop. It features lots of rollers, berms, and flow. Expect extended gentle climbs and long descents. Flow is the key word here.

Navigating Mill Creek Loop Trail is simple. This is one continuous trail with no side trails; however, you'll cross an old grass road three times. Head north (uphill) on the grass road for a shorter bail out if needed. This trail features relatively wide tread with gentle rollers and is appropriate for fit beginners as well as seasoned vets.

There are views of Norris Lake on both sides of the peninsula.
